Comment:
I just did a fresh install of Wordpress and it seems the default had been
changed to:
`users_can_register = 0`
I guess that will fix the majority of the abuse.
For the cases where the registration option **is** wanted this abuse will
keep happening, maybe a captcha or something like that will be able to
solve the problem in those cases?
